ABSTRACT:
The invention is an interface, and a method for operating the interface, for use in an open, high-speed, high-bandwidth digital communication network that connects multiple programmable telecommunications switches to form a large capacity, non-blocking switching system. The interface resides between the network and one or more processing resources, and operates to provide bi-directional communication between the network and the processing resources. Each interface includes circuitry for transmitting and receiving variable-length, packetized information over the network, and circuitry for transmitting and receiving data between the interface and one or more processing resources. The processing resources associated with one of the interfaces may thus be provided to other telecommunications switches, and ports associated therewith, connected to the high-bandwidth network. The processing resources may also gain direct access to all of the information passing over the network.
